Being a fan of hurt/comfort stories, this series is pretty much all I can ask.

I scream at my tv everytime I see Cora, and you just gave me another reason to. Regina has been so damaged by her mother, and we never get to see what scars - physical or emotional - she was left with. So reading this makes me, ugh, I kind of lost my words at such sorrow.

And I might, just might, have grinned like a fool at the ending. Even with a heartache.

As heartbreaking as it is to see Regina like this, it's clear that Emma loves her unconditionally and will be there to protect and support her. I sincerely hope you keep producing one-shots in this series because I'm hooked and I need more!
